Objectives and skills to be acquired: to remember and analyse the premises, effects and consequences of the Racial Laws of 1938, with particular reference to the emblematic figure of Mario Finzi from Bologna. An event that retraces a tragic chapter of our History and aims to be a warning so that discriminatory conditions are not repeated in the present day. The seminar completes the proposal of 11 July dedicated to “80 years since the Racial Laws".
